Conditions we treat

Evidence-informed soft tissue therapy for pain, stiffness, and movement issues

At K-Flow Therapy, we work with people who are dealing with pain that keeps coming back or movement that just doesn’t feel right anymore.

Sometimes it starts as a tight muscle.
Sometimes it feels like nerve pain, headaches, or joint irritation.
And often, it’s not just one structure causing the problem, but how the body is compensating as a whole.

Our approach focuses on understanding what’s driving your symptoms, not just treating where it hurts.

Common Conditions

Below are some of the most common issues we treat at K-Flow Therapy.
Each condition is approached with a clinical assessment first, followed by targeted hands-on treatment and practical movement advice where appropriate.

Back Pain

Ongoing or recurring back pain is often linked to restricted movement, muscular overload, or poor load tolerance not just “tight muscles.”
I assess how your spine, hips, and surrounding tissues are working together before applying treatment.

Neck & Shoulder Pain

Neck and shoulder discomfort is extremely common in desk workers, tradies, and athletes.
Poor posture, stress, repetitive work, and restricted thoracic movement often play a role.

Headaches

Many headaches have a strong musculoskeletal component, particularly involving the neck, upper back, jaw, and surrounding soft tissues.
Treatment focuses on reducing unnecessary tension and improving movement quality.

Sciatica Nerve Pain

Nerve-related symptoms such as sciatica, tingling, burning sensations, or shooting pain often involve more than just the nerve itself.
Soft tissue restriction, joint stiffness, and nervous system sensitivity can all contribute.

Foot Pain

Foot pain can affect everything above it — ankles, knees, hips, and even the lower back.
Common issues include plantar fascia irritation, tendon overload, and stiffness through the foot and calf complex.

Knee Pain

Knee pain isn’t always a “knee problem.”
Restricted hips, poor load distribution, and overworked surrounding muscles often place unnecessary stress through the joint.

Bursitis

Bursitis is commonly associated with repetitive pressure, compression, or overload.
Treatment focuses on reducing local irritation while addressing contributing movement and tissue restrictions.

Postural Issues

Postural issues aren’t about having “perfect posture.”
They’re often the result of prolonged positions, poor movement variability, and reduced tissue adaptability.

How Treatment Is Approached

At K-Flow Therapy, treatment is not a one-size-fits-all massage.

Each session may include:

  • A brief movement and symptom assessment

  • Hands-on soft tissue techniques (remedial massage, myotherapy, dry needling where appropriate)

  • Education around movement, load management, and recovery

  • Simple, realistic recommendations you can actually stick to

The goal is to help your body move more comfortably, tolerate load better, and reduce recurring flare-ups.

Not Sure What Category Your Pain Fits Into?

That’s very common.

Pain doesn’t always follow textbook definitions, and symptoms often overlap.
If you’re unsure which condition best matches what you’re experiencing, an initial consultation allows us to assess your situation properly and decide on the most appropriate approach
